KDHE: Most of Kansas at 'high risk' for West Nile Virus

The Montana Department of Health and Human Services reports the first West Nile Virus-related death in the state since 2016.

West Nile is a virus that comes from being bitten by an infected mosquito, which gets infected by feeding on infected birds.

OPH is targeting areas where the county is seeing the disease-carrying mosquitoes and will continue to conduct adult mosquito control events.

Drain: Empty standing water around your house to prevent mosquitoes breeding.

The person, whom authorities did not identify, became sick earlier in the month and tested positive for West Nile virus, the mosquito-transmitted virus that causes symptoms including fever, headaches, and muscle aches.

When you are outdoors, use insect repellent containing an EPA-registered active ingredient on skin and clothing, including DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus, or IR3535. Most people fully recover, but for some, it can develop into a severe illness that affects the central nervous system. Always follow label directions.

Also, any holes in screen doors or windows should be fixed so that bugs can not find their way inside.

The Virginia Department of Health (VDH) advises citizens that the summer heat this week is a reminder that mosquito season is still here.

Most people infected with West Nile have no or few symptoms, but some suffer serious inflammation of the brain. This year, there are 22 human cases.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has updated and expanded a high-risk warning for West Nile virus infections in Kansas. There have been confirmed cases in CT this season as well. They also recommend people vaccinate horses against both West Nile virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis virus.
